This is for Toni's fun Ways to Use It challenge....Mmmm, Food. According to my DH, cakes pretty much cover all the important food groups like chocolate, cream and icing sugar.
Here we have Milly in pink and Molly in green choosing a special treat. The girls started out life as a Sassy Cherryl digi image. The actual digi is just Molly and the cake stand complete with balloons.
To do this card, I flipped the image and cropped out the cake stand. This is just printed on normal copy paper, coloured with Prismacolour pencils, blended with Zest-it pencil blend, then highlighted with Copics.
I stenciled on the brick wall using the remains of silver Versa Colour ink that was on a foam blending tool. I just tilted the tool at a high angle to get in and around the girls and the cake stand. The stencil is not as wide as the card, so I just shuffle it over a bit and keep sponging. I don't get too precious about lining up the brick work, but it is easily done if you want to.
The card looked a bit bland, so I cut out a window, then on a scarp of cardstock I attached some lace that was a lovely RAK from JodyLynn and added a bit of washi tape. The tape scrunched up a bit, but I liked it, so I let it be.
Thanks so much for looking. I hope you are having a happy, inky week.

Oh, how cute this is. I love those little gals picking out there sweet treats. I also love the doodled frame. My doodling looks worse than chicken scratching so I am always happy to see the doodling of others.

Wow..Susie, so many beautiful techniques. TFS all your details. So much fun reading thru your steps:-) Those girls are just the cutest and so beautifully colored. I love your soft brick wall and clever window..both added so much interest and texture to your girls and yummy cakes.

I think they have found their way into a little Paris patisserie. Those cakes look as if they would taste delicious, which alas cannot be said of most of the cake shops here. Plus they are so beautifully dressed with their little matching purses. I love the window, and the little wrinkle in the tape just looks as if the blind had got slightly stuck.

Darling card.....and I'm with them.....I could eat them all. You have created a fabulous scene. I, like them, sometimes work backwards at a restaurant if I know they have outstanding desserts. : )
